The journal is the premier outlet for research results on the subjects of testing, verification and reliability. Readers will find useful research on issues pertaining to building better software and evaluating it.The journal is unique in its emphasis on theoretical foundations and applications to real-world software development. The balance of theory, empirical work, and practical applications provide readers with better techniques for testing, verifying and improving the reliability of software.The journal targets researchers, practitioners, educators and students that have a vested interest in results generated by high-quality testing, verification and reliability modeling and evaluation of software. Topics of special interest include, but are not limited to:New criteria for software testing and verificationApplication of existing software testing and verification techniques to new types of software, including web applications, web services, embedded software, aspect-oriented software, and software architecturesModel based testingFormal verification techniques such as model-checkingComparison of testing and verification techniquesMeasurement of and metrics for testing, verification and reliabilityIndustrial experience with cutting edge techniquesDescriptions and evaluations of commercial and open-source software testing toolsReliability modeling, measurement and applicationTesting and verification of software securityAutomated test data generationProcess issues and methodsNon-functional testingTypes of contributions include:Research Papers reporting original work, either theoretical or practical, which increase knowledge, understanding or practice in software testing, verification or reliability. Refereed prior to publication.Survey Papers that detail all the current knowledge in a specific area. Refereed.Each scientific paper will be thoroughly reviewed by at least three reviewers.
